EA Sports UFC Patch #2

The second patch is now out of development and has been sent to the powers that be at Microsoft and Sony for approval. No word on when the patch will be available for download but it was sent Aug.15th which means there's a good chance it will be ready on Tuesday August 18th. The patch will address issues created by the first patch as well as possibly adding more fighters. There is reasonable speculation in the EA Sports UFC online community that the ability to catch leg kicks will also be added into the upcoming patch as a way to stop gamers from performing repeated kicks (spamming) during online matches. Lets hope it works!
